Lawrence, Kansas is primarily known for one thing: Kansas Basketball. This is also the place where the official rules of basketball were originally written. In honor of that event, Breakout Lawrence created a room that would allow basketball fans and escape enthusiasts an opportunity to unite their two passions.

The staff at Breakout Lawrence welcomed us warmly and got our experience off to a great start. The team was ushered into a basketball museum that was beautifully designed and decorated. The look and feel of the room was tremendous; it truly felt like you were in a hall of fame. After watching a video, the team started to hunt for their way of escape.

The room bogs down a bit near the start, but once your team gets the idea of what you are doing, you will be excited to see what is in store. As one can see from the scoring, this is a tough room to fully explain. There is tremendous potential here, and our team is proud that this organization is looking for unique rooms to match their locations. We believe with a bit of tweaking this room will be top notch. This room is best completed by novice groups of 5-6 or expert groups of 2-4.

Final verdict: There are many reasons to experience this room. The immersion and room quality are second to none, but the gameplay is only average. Knowing the people at Breakout Lawrence, they will continue to improve this room over time.
